Rat cheer!

I just looked at that thread and I would say you have had some very good suggestions to check out. Check the fuel pressure, especially under load. Reduce your plug gap to something close to normal. You might try .035" to .040". You could install an oscilloscope to check the secondary ignition, but to be meaningful you would have to have a way to load the engine; either a dyno or a test drive. A broken valve spring isn't always that easy to spot. It doesn't have to fly apart and scatter all through the engine to be a problem. There are, on the car, valve spring testers. Follow through on all the good advice you have already received. Unfortunately, I have no "silver bullet" to offer.

RACE ON!!!

I'm not even going to ask...



I am hoping everyone has noticed my restraint in not dealing with the title to the parent thread. Every time I saw that I almost gave in to temptation.

RACE ON!!!
